This is an off topic blog but something that I need to definitely write about...
Today...a memorable day in the life of Aravind Kaushik and a lot of others I know.
Today...is the day when we stand up and salute a great man... a legend who has in his own helped in shaping up my attitude in his own silent way..
Ladies and gentlemen..give him a standing ovation... ANIL KUMBLE retires today...
You, me and all the others should very well understand what ANIL KUMBLE meant to us...across our professional spheres. He inspired us not by shouting at his opponents..but he inspired us with his silence. It is but natural that my eyes turn moist when I look back and remember the smiles that he brought on our faces with those innumberable faster ones...those non spinning balls that bowled batsmen world over and lead them to wonder if JUMBO was a spinner or a fast bowler who runs off a short run up .
I am not interested in statistics..I am interested in stature...
ANIL WAS NOT A MAN OF STATISTICS..HE WAS A MAN OF STATURE...
From an old granny across the road who danced in joy when he got those ten wickets in an innings....to ANIL's own mom who jumped in joy during the TITAN CUP when he and JAVAGAL SRINATH batted INDIA to victory...he has made us all proud of who we are..
I apply..or try to apply the ANIL KUMBLE LOGIC TO MY WORK TOO. HE LET THE BALL DO THE TALKING. LET ME MAKE FILMS THAT WILL TALK FOR THEMSELVES.
ANIL.... this song ..this song which we know is ur fav song...
chalte chalte...mere yeh geet yaad rakhna...kabhi alvida naa kehnaa... kabhi alvida naa kehnaa....

Sooooperb. I too agree with you. He inspired a lot of ppl on and off field... outside cricket too...
A JUMBO salute to a real fighter, a great leader and a maverick spinner. Take a BOW
Wow... what a timely post... I really liked it...
Yes.. I agree ... JUMBO was inspirational for many reasons listed by you and ShyamaNNa... For me he is SPECIAL since he is a KANNADIGA..!!!!
Even my eyes turned moist while watching his speech on the presentation ceremony... Yes.. those two moments rankle in our memory for ever... 10 wickets in an innings... TITAN CUP match partnership with SRINATH...!!!
Yes Arvind.. he always spoke with his ball rather than with his mouth... At the same time, He never compromised on his aggressivenss just because he was not mouthing words... That's his greatest trait... You could see the intensity, committment & dedication in his eyes & face...!!!
SALUTE TO THE NEVER-SAY-DIE WARRIOR JUMBO KANNADIGA ANIL KUMBLE...!!!
FINALLY... YES I CAN SEE A DEFINITE JUMBO IN ARVIND KAUSHIK WHEN IT COMES TO WORK, DEDICATION, QUALITY & INTENSITY..!!
WAY TO GO NAOD...!!

added one more comment on 'an audio summary' post :-)
Loved the post. Kumble will always be special, in his approach to the game, in the way he conducted himself on the field. There is another favourite, and you know all about that:))
